Bill Hennessy says Allman is "a guy trying to boost his own ratings by taking advantage of people who are trying to run a grassroots organization"

St. Louis Tea Party co-founder Bill Hennessy was on KDHX's Collateral Damage a few weeks ago and was asked about calling Jamie Allman "radio's stammering, pausing, idiot." Hennessy's response was that Allman had knowingly misrepresented what the St. Louis tea party leadership was up to (starting at the 19:05 mark here):

Jamie parsed her statements on there to create some big controversy when there wasn't one. He did this knowing what the reality was. Making accusations that I was keeping secrets from people in St. Louis. Specifically he was hinting that I was hiding this organization called Ensuring Liberty.

Hennessy went on to say the following about Allman:

It's just a guy trying to boost his own ratings by taking advantage of people who are trying to run a grassroots organization. And frankly I think it stinks.

The host then reminded Hennessy that Allman portrays himself as a conservative and Hennessy responded:

Yes he does, but I think he's first a radio guy trying to get ratings.

Hennessy claimed that there was nothing to the controversy. However, he's still never really explained the discrepancies in his statements. Hennessy originally claimed the following on April 22:

As we have decided until primary issues have been resolved, the PAC has not yet been established, candidates have not yet been chosen and thus no money has yet been raised or distributed.

However, he was raising money fro Ensuring Liberty as early as March 19. Why exactly was Hennessy implying that there was "nothing to report" if he had already been raising money for a month?
